We're getting married!

Arielle & Derek met at work. Arielle didn't think much of it. Then a bunch of them were asked to help with a work event. Derek needed help bringing in the food and Arielle found herself eager to help. After which he thanked her with a fist bump and for a brief moment the world stood still and there was a seismic quake only they could feel. They talked nonstop for the next few weeks and that’s when they thought, "Uh oh is this something?"

Within a few months of meeting, Arielle & Derek realized they never wanted to leave each other's side. They moved into the same home and started planning a future together. Derek knew Arielle was serious when she randomly scheduled tours at a few wedding venues after just six months of dating. On the anniversary of when they first hung out, they went to dinner and were enjoying another perfect date night. While they laughed and thought up more dreams of their future, Derek asked if Arielle really wanted to marry him. Jokingly she told him he would never know until he actually asked her. When she stopped laughing, he asked again, but this time he pulled a box from under the table. Tears immediately filled Arielle's eyes and she shouted "YES," and they were finally engaged. They are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in their lives with you. See you soon in Virginia, the state for lovers!
